AC Drive for versatile motor control

The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 753 AC drive, the second release in the PowerFlex 750-Series from Rockwell Automation, targets machine builders and manufacturers requiring versatile motor control for general-purpose applications, including fans, pumps and conveyors. Designed to meet global user needs, the drive supports multiple languages and complies with global standards and certifications.

DeviceLogix control technology helps meet requirements for stand-alone applications by giving users control flexibility to combine inputs and/or outputs, as well as local logic functions, to determine the drive’s behavior. A slot-based mechanical architecture that allows customers to tailor the drive with as few or as many options – such as I/O, feedback, safety, and communications– as their application requires.

The drive also helps manufacturers minimize downtime because users can configure the drive to provide advanced notification of operating data on cooling fans, I/O relay cycles, motor run-time hours and potential fault warnings. Additional options include Embedded Safe Torque-Off and Safe-Speed Monitoring options to help customers protect personnel and equipment and improve productivity.
